What do animals have to do with inventions? Welcome to the world of bioinspiration Inventors observe and imitate strategies and adaptations that animals use in the natural world to find inspiration for new creations. Sometimes two animal species face a similar challenge and come up with two very different ways for dealing with it. For instance, both sharks and pangolins have special skin that protects them from harm. Shark skin inspired a type of armor for boats, and pangolins inspired the design of a helmet for humans. Wild Inventions introduces six pairs of animals and the inventions they inspired. Take a peek at the creative process involved in designing new inventions to help people stay safe, live more comfortably, and go places and do things that weren't previously possible.
North America's rarest wolf species, the red wolf, was on the brink of extinction.At one time, red wolves roamed the US from southern New York to as far south as Florida and as far west as Texas. But as European settlers moved in, these wolves began losing their home range and were hunted as a threat.Red wolves became so rare by 1973 that they were given protection under the US Endangered Species Act. Then scientists came up with a daring plan: round up all remaining red wolves, launch a captive breeding program, and once the captive population was large enough, release red wolves to roam free in protected areas.Follow along as scientists, conservationists, and wildlife experts join forces to help red wolves live wild again.
